APM Licensing

Hi All/DC Experts,   Just wanted to know what is the difference of CCU and ACCESS Sessions.   I am really confused with the licensing of APM.   Thanks..

    If you have 2 assigned Portal resources to 1 user, 1 CCU will be consumed.

     

    If any part of that operations guide is confusing, please let us know what part and we'll work to get it clarified. We do updates to the Ops Guide about every quarter as it's not "official documentation tied to a specific release", so we have more leeway in updates.

as far as i understand it one user will consume one CCU if a CCU is applicable to the resource *). but that is one CCU maximum per session, so you have a webtop with application access, network access, ... it is still one CCU.

user sessions are always consumed, so they are higher.
